UNITED NATIONS: The Vishinsky Approach

Over the clipped green fields of Flushing Meadow last week, only a few
miles distant from the hazy skyline of Manhattan, the encircled flags
of U.N.'s 55 nations flapped fitfully in a bland September breeze.
Within the limestone and beaverboard temple of U.N.'s General Assembly
had gathered the delegates of almost all the world's powers, great,
middle and minuscule. Their agenda bulged with more than 60 issues and
proposalsfrom The Bomb to how to make life more comfortable and
diverting for visiting delegates.
